Since Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut in 1999, every film with some mysterious edge Leelee Sobieski has made since has been very, very bad or lame, like the inane, recent remake of The Wicker Man.  Now she’s at it again with a film that thinks it is exploring the seedy side of S&M (or something like that) in Robert Cuffley’s Walk All Over Me (2007) that is really an idiot-plot would-be thriller with some latex and sex toys decorating the same old formula.

 

Sobieski is a waitress who accidentally loses a bunch of money at her diner meant for her corrupt boss and runs away to a friend who is now a dominatrix and lets her stay at her place.  Of course, she is a goof and does everything dumb she can to cause her friend trouble and get involved in more mistakes.  If she was not that dumb, there would be no movie.  After 99 minutes, all is pretty forgettable and Sobieski racks up another dud.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 2.35 X 1 image is not very colorful, memorable or with much detail, but is at least clean.  The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix features some of the dumbest, poorest and most forgettable songs in recent memory, but surrounds are active and dialogue is recorded well enough.  Extras include a trailer, (surprise!) Music Video, outtakes, deleted scenes, stills and audio commentary.
